The Supreme Court on Wednesday said that the Chief Justice of India (CJI) is the "first among equals" and has the constitutional authority to decide the allocation of cases and setting up of benches to hear them. The apex court made the observation while dismissing a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking framing of guidelines for rational and transparent allocation of cases and constitution of benches to hear them. The decision was taken by a bench of judges comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud. Writing the judgment for the bench, Justice Chandrachud referred to constitutional schemes and said: "the Chief Justice of India is first among equals and has the authority to decide the allocation of cases and setting up of benches".
